“Sydney’s streets will be choked with traffic and pollution. Countless trees, homes and even endangered species will be destroyed. And families in western Sydney will be sold out to toll road companies.

“We chose Sydney Park as our venue as so much of it will be destroyed if the WestCONnex tollway is built. Hundreds of trees there will be destroyed. Large parts of the park will be razed to create construction compounds. It will be surrounded on all sides by highways – and be left right next to the monstrous St Peters Interchange and its unfiltered pollution stacks.

“This event will give people practical ways to work together to stop Mike Baird’s WestCONnex, and we encourage everyone who’s concerned about the future of our city to join us.”
